What you'll learn

Containerized workloads are only valuable when they run reliably in production. But deploying services, keeping them healthy, and tracking down failures can quickly become time-consuming, especially when you’d rather not manage servers. In this course, AWS Container Compute Operations, you’ll gain the ability to deploy, operate, and troubleshoot containerized workloads using Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate. First, you’ll explore how to prepare a deployable container image and configure an ECS service, including its resource requirements, networking, logging, and IAM identities. Next, you’ll discover how to deploy the service, monitor deployment events and container status, review runtime logs, and safely roll out new revisions. Finally, you’ll learn how to diagnose common container failures, such as image-pull problems, failed container starts, stopped containers, and unhealthy endpoints. Then you’ll apply fixes to return the service to a healthy state. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate needed to deploy and maintain containerized workloads, verify service health, troubleshoot common failures, and make informed compute decisions.
